Such a special photo. Thanks for sharing. We’re here for you ❤️
Cindy, What a sweet picture. Thank you for sharing her with us. Is she a dachsund, or a mix? It really hasn’t been very long since you said goodbye to Malea DeLynn and I hope you are slowly finding your smiles in memory of her come more frequently than your tears? Please let us know how you are healing, and how we might support you.
Thank you so much..she was my soul baby
Thank you..she was a dapple doxie and just the sweetest baby..we rescued her February 2012. They estimated she was around 4..it was love at first sight..we only had the joy of loving her for 4 years 9 months and 12 days..we lost her to CHF and enlarged heart..she also had a category 4/5 heart murmur and a mitral valve leak..she had been diagnosed a little over 2 years ago so between medicine and love I got to have her a little longer..I still cry every day for her..I miss her beyond words..I do smile when I look at her pictures and videos but my heart is so shattered..taking it a day at a time..
Cindy, our community member and friend, Chuck, lost his dog Dexter to CHF, too. Is there a way to diagnose it early, and can it be treated? And yes, one day, one moment, at a time. We never forget, but we do get to have the fun, loving memories one day.
Hers was discovered when I asked them to check her heart murmur before she got a vaccination and that’s when they did an x-ray that showed an enlarged heart..she was put on vetmedin which is an amazing medication..in January of 2020 she had an episode where she was panting so hard that I took her to a cardiologist and that’s when he diagnosed her with CHF on the left side of her heart and the mitral valve leak..he added lasix, enalapril and aldactone which made all the difference in her.. unfortunately she was in category C..but with medication and diet and love she survived for 7 more months..if they did heart transplants in animals I was willing to do that..she deserved all that I could do for her..you know that saying if live could have saved you she would still be here..she left paw prints all over my heart.
Cindy, Thank You so much for sharing these details. It may help others of us. Goodness – you really did all you could, and I hope you know that. I want to say more, but let’s check in tomorrow. I’m thinking of you, and would like to introduce you to @chuck, who is also a community member, whose dog, Dexter, also had CHF. Your sharing is so important and meaningful and helpful, Cindy. Thank you.
I am so sorry for your loss.
